The Seattle tournament was a bit rough. Our coach quit on us three days before the tournament, and one of our better players had a death in the family and had to fly out for the funeral. But given all the adversity, I'd say we did pretty well. We went 1-3, but two of those losses were fairly close. Our new players have had a lot more time to gel at this point as well, so we're expecting better results this weekend.
